General
Introduction
This Aerodrome Directory has been developed for use in pre flight planning and air
navigation under visual flight condition. Aerodrome charts are provided to assist pilots
on VFR flights by providing airfield data and surrounds in a convenient graphic or
pictorial form, and should be used together with the applicable aeronautical charts,
aeronautical information publications and NOTAMs.

Caution
Many airfields in this directory are privately owned and their conditions may not be
detailed in NOTAMs if they or the services become unusable, temporarily or
permanently. Before departure information should always be obtained on unfamiliar
fields to determine the current state of the runway.

Contacts
The most common criticism of Aviation Directories I have heard is “That book has so
many mistakes”. RSV Aviation took over this project because we felt there was
insufficient airfield information available in Namibia. With over 500 airfields entries,
and many more not yet included, of which only 1/3 we have first hand information on,
inevitably there will be corrections to make. So please, if you know of any information
to improve the content or quality of this publication, instead of criticising, help us to
make this available to all pilots flying in Namibia for safer and more enjoyable
aviating.

Namibian Operational Information
Radio Frequencies
A listening watch is required on the following frequencies in the respective types of
airspace, where no other frequency has been assigned.
124.8
124.7
124.4
130.35
123.4

Unmanned airfields without assigned frequencies.
Uncontrolled airspace in Windhoek FIR below 1500ft AGL.
Uncontrolled airspace in Windhoek FIR airspace over 1500ft.
Also Windhoek Area control and information service.
General Flying Areas, eg FYD130, areas assigned for training and
general aviation flights.
Air to Air chat for transmission of non essential information.
Glider traffic and unmanned glider fields.

Note:
Relays do not provide 100% coverage on 124.7, in remote areas or low altitudes, if no
contact is established blind transmissions should be made, or request a relay from
another aircraft.
Because of un-uniform terrain beware of aircraft possibly operating on 124.7 or 124.8
in the same areas, try to monitor both on climb out/approach and any time doubt exists.
All unmanned frequencies require blind transmissions at regular intervals

Altitudes
Circuit Altitude
Circuit altitude is 1000ft above ground for piston, 1500ft above ground for turbines.
Transition Altitude/Level
Transition altitude where not published is 2000ft AGL, and Transition level 3000ft
AGL for flights in VMC.
Semi Circular
The semi circular rule for uncontrolled airspace in Namibia applies to magnetic track as
follows for VFR flights between 1500ft AGL up to FL195, (No VFR traffic is
permitted above FL195):
East (001-179) Odd Flight levels, +500ft
West (180-359) Even flight levels +500ft
This rule has the exception of two corridors directly North and South of Windhoek, to
prevent traffic on similar routes at different levels, if in doubt request information from
the briefing office.

Namibian Operational Information
VFR/IFR Traffic
All charts unless specified are for VFR only, however be aware there may be IFR
aircraft operating on Visual Approaches, remember in VMC all pilots are required to
maintain a good lookout for other traffic, to maintain a listening watch on the
appropriate frequencies and transmit intentions when required.

Other
Time
UTC+1hr winter, 0100UTC 1st Sunday April to 0100UTC 1st Sunday September,

(Winter time)
Official Language
English
License Requirements
ICAO, FAA and JAR licenses can be validated or converted to a full Namibian license.
In all cases at least a flight test, law exam, and radio exam will be required. For pilots
with little experience it is also recommended that training be completed prior to
undertaking the tests to become familiar with local operating requirements.
Commercial licenses will not be converted without a valid work permit or Visa.

Charts
All charts are for VFR use only

Chart Explaination
Airfield data in table form is included with the approach charts in alphabetical order for
ease of reference. Each letter has a list of all runways, followed by charts of those
runways with charts available.
In the airfield lists the following distinctions have been made:
Listings in BOLD indicate a chart is available.
Listings in ITALICS indicate the airfield has been visually inspected, but
insufficient information for charts.
All other coordinates have been compiled from written data sources only.

Notes on format changes
New runways have been included with photographs when available, however pictures
have been taken en route and so are unfortunately not always North orientated. Area
charts have on some occasions been omitted due to either a lack of information or no
useful information. Due to variations in sources of information and updates some
pictorial representations and chart formats differ slightly. Although this is not desirable
it was felt providing the information albeit in different formats is better than not. The
legend gives a broad guideline to pictorial/graphical representation.
